Could it be the case that if we test the PID controller such way,
then we optimize for throughtput in a scenario like "laptop sits 
next the the AP".

Or, in other words: if we put the AP 80m away and then try the 
test, would the same PID parameters that yielded high MB/s rates 
now still keep us a sane (for that distance!) connection?
